Chapter Twenty-Three: My Former Brother Feels Sorry for Me
"Tsk, look at the way they pity each other haha......"
"It's not, after all, it's all from that kind of place, don't dislike each other."
Several concubines followed behind Aunt Liu, speaking in a voice for fear that Xu Zhizhi would not hear her.
"Is it hot?" Li Mu asked softly.
"It's okay, just take the cold water." Xu Zhizhi did not support Li Mu's arm, but stood up with his own support and walked to the outer courtyard, where there was a well.
Li Mu followed closely and when he arrived at the well, he came up silently to draw water, and watched Xu Zhizhi soaking the hot position just now in the water with his hands and feet.
Her face was calm, and she didn't even frown, as if she was just doing something to wash her hands.
Li Mu silently lowered his head and looked at the shadows of the two people in the well water from time to time.
Once upon a time, he used to fetch water for her, and she smiled and groomed, bright and moving, sometimes shy and cute.
She is from a dusty background, he knows it, but he is very firm in his heart.
For this, he almost broke with his family, and even thought about redeeming her, taking her to elope, to a place where no one knew them.
Even if there is nothing, as long as there is her, it is enough.
Can......
"Thank you for the rescue." Xu Zhizhi poured water and saluted.
"Between you and me, you don't have to be so polite, it's all I should do." Li Mu said eagerly.
"Childe lost his word." Xu Zhizhi turned around, turned his back to Li Mu and said, thinking of Li Yi's jealous maniac, for fear that gossip would reach his ears, saying that he hooked up with his beloved little man, so what did he pay back? !
So Xu Zhizhi said softly: "If this backyard boy comes, it will only cause trouble for the son." ”
Li Mu's eyes were hot, "In today's situation, with you, only you will treat me so sincerely." ”
"Lord Li treats his son sincerely." Xu Zhizhi hurriedly said.
"He ......" Li Mu looked at Xu Zhizhi so cautiously, remembering that she had only been happy in front of herself in the past, and her heart hurt even more.
It's just that Li Yi is also a close friend and a benefactor, and he doesn't know how to evaluate it in his heart.
"Childe, it turns out that you are here, let me find it." Li Mu's personal guard Rong Feng said, "Lord Li called you over. ”
"Okay."
Li Mu responded, looked back at Xu Zhizhi's back, and wanted to step forward, but he raised his foot and paused, and finally said in the same place:
"Zhizhi, I'll go first."
"Childe walks slowly." After Xu Zhizhi finished politely, he walked back quickly, remembering Fang Cai's scene, and couldn't help frowning.
It's too careless, it shouldn't have come with Li Mu, these long-tongued women may have something unpleasant to say again.
Rong Feng followed behind his master, and controlled his steps several times before he didn't bump into Li Mu in front.
Normally, as long as Li Yi is looking for him, Li Mu will definitely go quickly, but this time, he walked very slowly, his eyes were dull, and he looked preoccupied.
"Childe, what's wrong?" Rong Feng asked.
"Rongfeng, I once did a wrong thing, lost my trust in others, and couldn't sleep day and night, what should I do?" Li Mu was headless and brainless, and suddenly asked.
"Childe has always been kind-hearted and sincere, so it must be a last resort, Childe doesn't have to be sad, just see if it can be remedied." Rongfeng Road.
"Remedy......" Li Mu paused, and when he looked back, Cui Fengju's three words were beautiful and beautiful, "Also, she is not a concubine, just a maidservant, and there is a remedy." ”
He looked ahead and walked and whispered, "She shouldn't have lived a hard life like this......

In the Qingyang Pavilion, Li Yi, who came back from the next dynasty, looked tired, and when Li Mu pushed the door in, he still put on a relaxed face.
"Are you used to living in the house?" Li Yan asked.
"Brother Li takes care of it, and he is very used to it." Li Mu said, "It's just that I heard today that the old lady met the daughter of Zhao Shangshu's family again, talking in the backyard, this marriage, eighty percent can't be pushed off, what does Brother Li think?" ”
"If you can't push it off, you have to push it off."
Li Yi took a deep breath and remembered the scene in the court today, Zhao Shangshu of the princeling party was really "conscientious" in order to benefit the prince, and he couldn't see it.
And the other party was in such a hurry to marry his daughter, and he was even more wooing himself for the prince.
"Also, there are countless wives and concubines in Brother Li's backyard, and most of them are beautiful girls, it seems that Brother Li has no shortage of women, so he naturally has no feeling for the daughter of the Zhao family."
Li Mu said as he noticed Li Yi's face, and seeing that he didn't react in particular, he continued:
"Actually, it's good to have a woman around, this servant girl is different from the guard, take my Rongfeng as an example, he is very good at kung fu, he is safe, and he is extremely loyal, but there is only one point, that is, he will not take care of people."
"Oh? Is it? Li Yi asked, "I think Rong Feng is very careful. ”
"That's when you are careful when doing things, if you want to say that you take care of daily life, or the maid is more gentle and considerate, no matter how big or small." Li Mu explained.
"There is some truth to that."
Lunch came, and after Jing Yu and the other attendants were busy, Li Yan just casually agreed.
Li Mu was ushered into the seat, the food on the table was very rich, he saw that Li Yan was still calm, so he rubbed his hands and said:
"Brother Li is really blessed, there are countless beautiful Jiao'e in the backyard, and there are servant girls by my side, I also had a few handmaidens with me at the beginning, but unfortunately there was an accident at home, and only Rongfeng was with me."
Li Yi looked at the roasted mutton in front of him, picked up the knife next to him, and when the knife fell, a piece of mutton was cut off the bone.
"Bang." He threw the knife back on the table and slowly raised his eyes to look at Li Mu, "Well, you go on." ”
"That's ......" Li Mu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I want to ask for someone with Brother Li." ”
Li Yan picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, and asked as he chewed:
"You want a maid to take care of you, right? It's also true, it's my negligence, Ming'er, you go and pick at will, see which clever and smart can be used, you pick it, if there is no good one, I will ask someone to buy some back. ”
"Thank you, Brother Li, for bothering Brother Li!"
Li Mu breathed a long sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth raised, and he thought of Xu Zhizhi who was made difficult by everyone.
She is such a bright and kind girl, and she was bullied and scolded in this house.
Now that she is also under the fence, the only way to make her better is to ask her to come over and put her by her side.
And Li Yi was actually accurate!
Li Mu was in a good mood, and cut the roasted mutton in front of him with a knife.
"Jingyu."
Li Yi's gaze drifted over Li Mu, and he reached out and picked up a brittle bone ball and threw it into his mouth, squeaking and biting.
"Your Excellency." Jingyu stepped forward.
"You go to the Emerald Wind Residence." Li Yi put down his chopsticks, "Let Xu Zhizhi prepare and go to bed tonight." ”
The knife in Li Mu's hand slipped and cut directly onto his fingers.
